Sunday House Crush // Lake Arrowhead Waterfront Estate
This home is the epitome of the cliched saying LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! BECAUSE O.M.G. The location is INCREDIBLE. Much like my favorite peninsula home, its got it’s own private location on the lake, though not as much land/property as the peninsula house, it’s quite beautiful, and I love the stairs down to the shore. There …
Gift Idea // Cute Embroidered Cross-Stitched Pop Art Hoops

#MondayMotivation // Meditation & Letting Go
Finally! A new 21 day meditation experience from Deepak called Energize Your Life: Secrets for a Youthful Spirit and it starts TODAY (October 29th, 2018) and I’m excited.

Shop // Adorable Summer Jumpsuits That’ll Take You Into Fall
Way back in July of 2009, I shared this jumpsuit that I was IN LOVE with from the movie Valley of the Dolls. At the time, nothing similar could be found, and even a vintage one-piece or jumpsuit was difficult to come by. Cut-to nearly 10 years later -NOW- where I’m seeing TONS of similar …
Sunday House Crush // New-Old World Charm Custom Mountain Home
This home is really amazing. I mean, stunning. It’s completely custom and on a HUGE private cul-de-sac all to itself, within a gated community. I happened to find my way into this community with my mom a few weeks ago and shot photos at this very house (which I’ll post later this week)… although at …

A Star is Born // Comparing the Same 12 Octaves
This week has been a doozy. I haven’t really regained consciousness since Wednesday afternoon, so I’m currently on the hunt for major distractions until I can re-route my brain’s neuropathways and/or figure out how to move forward or simply hit the reset button. In my quest to escape, I watched the new A Star is …
Paris Fashion Week // Chanel RTW 2019 Runway is an Actual Beach
I haven’t followed much of the fashion week runway collections this season but I love to watch the street style and highlights on Instagram. I was watching someone’s highlight the other day, I can’t remember who, and THIS SHOW STOPPED ME IN MY TRACKS! Sure Karl Lagerfeld’s seaside-inspired Spring-Summer Ready to Wear 2019 collection was …

DIY Pretty Blue Marbled Pumpkins
I resisted posting all day yesterday because I wanted to start off the month with something festive, yet I wouldn’t really allow my mind to go into create-mode (do you know the feeling?) So I stalled all day long and continued procrastinating (by keeping very busy doing a million other things)… But I’ve vowed to …
Sunday House Crush // On the Golf Course
I’ve never really been one who had any desire to live on or near a golf course, although when once thinking about moving to Palm Springs (before realizing that I’d have to move elsewhere for the Summer due to my skin actually melting off of my bones in the 120 degree heat), there were a …
